As we all know, Mount Paektu is what the Korean people call Changbai Mountain, so this is obviously a Korean movie, which was released in December 2019, which means that this is a relatively new movie.
This is a low-profile version of "Iron Rain", and it is also a narrative structure that everyone likes to see from high-level decision-making to the death of lower-level heroes.
From the perspective of the plot, the Korean people made another movie that the Chinese people dare not make.
The background of the story is that South Korea and North Korea reached a consensus on denuclearization and, with the assistance of China and the United States, removed nuclear weapons from all parties.
At this time, Changbai Mountain erupted, causing a huge earthquake and tsunami.
So in the face of natural and man-made disasters, North Korea, South Korea, China, and the United States launched a story of losing and dying for their own interests.
Changbai Mountain is an active volcano. In fact, the last eruption was in 1702, during the Kangxi period.
According to historical records: "At noon, the sky and the earth suddenly darkened, sometimes red and yellow, with the same smoke and flames, and the stench filled the room. If it was in the oven, people could not bear the heat. It disappeared after the fourth watch, and when you look at it in the morning, then The rain and ashes are everywhere, just like those who burn clam shells", "the same day in the same month, a little later, the cloud of smoke suddenly came from the northwest, the ground was dark, and the stench hit people's clothes".
It doesn't seem to be very powerful, and I don't know if it can be turned into a 2012 effect like the volcano in Yellowstone Park.
So back to the movie itself, what is the attitude of all parties under the natural disaster?
First, the North Korean regime collapsed directly, and then the South Korean people went to save the Korean peninsula.
The Chinese directly made excuses to send troops to maintain order on the peninsula, while the American people desperately sacrificed their ally (South Korea) to maintain world order.
If you think it's obscene, then you're wrong. Because history is more obscene than that!
First of all, it is not the first day that the Korean peninsula has become like this. I have introduced the Chinese tribute system many times, and the Korean people have never been included in the Chinese territory for thousands of years. Walking a tightrope between them is a kind of historical inheritance, which requires consistent courage and wisdom.
We always feel that Kim Jong-un is the best post-80s generation, but we can even think that as a North Korean leader, vertical, horizontal, and close is a required course.
If you have read my article "Why the Japanese Choose War", you will know that the Korean issue is the core issue of the Sino-Japanese conflict, the Sino-Russian conflict, and even the Asian order.
You look at the issue of Concubine Min in North Korea at the end of the 19th century. A Concubine Min, forced by the Meiji Restoration in Japan and the Westernization Movement in China, also carried out the Restoration, but she took refuge in China, Russia, and Japan successively. The political game is unparalleled. When taking refuge in China, China was even able to escort the then North Korean opposition "King Daewonjun" to Tianjin for trial.
And you see, several key links in the history of East Asia, almost all revolve around the North Korea issue:
The Battle of Baijiang Village established the East Asian order for a thousand years;
Mingliang naval battle, Toyotomi Hideyoshi, challenged the East Asian order;
The fuse of the Sino-Japanese War was the Korean Dongxue Party movement;
The Russo-Japanese War was due to the murder of Concubine Min mentioned above, and Russia sent troops to intervene.
So if you look at the issue from a historical perspective, in 1950, China sent troops to North Korea, it is not surprising at all.
Then when the next crisis occurs—whether it is the North Korean nuclear issue or a natural disaster, it will not be difficult at all to know how countries will play it out.
Natural disasters are the best stress test. I think the Chinese people at this moment can understand the meaning of this sentence best. The problems in our country's medical care, logistics, government organization and coordination, and decision-making processes have all been exposed. All kinds of rumors are flying all over the sky, which not only tests the coping ability of decision makers, but also the IQ of the people.
The paragraph said it well, the last Weibo was still praising medical workers, tears were shed, and the next one was seeing misappropriation of materials, grass Nima.
Although we know that after reading history, we understand that many things cannot be changed.
But today's China is no longer the Qing Dynasty, or even the China of 30 years ago, or the China of yesterday, things are always changing day by day, and the most important thing is that we are all involved in this process, let him be one day Get better one day.
In fact, the most valuable part of this film is the ethnic complex on the Korean peninsula. No matter what, blood is thicker than water, South Korea and North Korea are one family, and the enemies are China and the United States. In contrast, the current situation in China is much worse. When the people of Hong Kong use the streets to protest the mainland, the people of Wanwan do not know that Hokkien is Taiwanese. I don't know how far the Chinese people's road to reunification is.
